Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

The border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of River.

In a small village.

Ninjas from Konoha gathered here, led by the young Fourth Hokage: Minato Namikaze.

However, compared to his previous high-spirited appearance, Minato now looks a little depressed. Everything that happened in the Rain Land disrupted his plans and also caused him to suffer a huge setback for the first time after becoming Hokage.

If it is not handled properly, all his efforts during this period will be wasted, the war in the ninja world will be reignited, and Konoha will have to face war again.

This is also the reason why he requested a private meeting with the Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village despite many people's opposition.

Following Minato were several of his close confidants after he became Hokage, including Nara Shikaku who served as think tanks, Akimichi Choza who served as a bodyguard, Yamanaka Inoichi who was in charge of communications, and Aburame Shiwei who was in charge of intelligence. As for Jiraiya and Tsunade who had just returned to the village, they stayed in charge of the village.

Minato had to do it!

Because of another piece of news from the Rain Country, Minato fully realized the instability of his power.

That is, during the operation of the Hidden Rain Village to wipe out the Akatsuki organization, the figure of Konoha Anbu actually appeared.

Without having to think too much, Minato understood where these ANBU came from, and who else could it be except Elder Danzo. However, even though he knew it, he could not act rashly. Firstly, he did not have any evidence, and secondly, as one of the elders, he, the new Hokage, could not rush into touching their rights.

Seeing Minato looking a little haggard, Shikaku beside him spoke comfortingly.

"Hokage-sama, some things can't be rushed, you have to take your time!"

"Yeah! Don't worry, Shikaku, I understand."

"I can rest assured that!"

In general, the entire Konoha high-level officials are quite welcoming to the new Hokage, and even the Uchiha clan has shown a cooperative attitude. The reason is very simple. Compared with the interests behind the previous Hokage, the forces behind Minato are too clean. This means that the power of Konoha, which was originally controlled by Nao Nao, may loosen.

This is what the middle-level forces in Konoha represented by Ino-Shika-Chou and marginalized forces such as the Uchiha clan want to see.

Just then, Aburame Shiwei spoke up.

"They're coming!"

Everyone instantly perked up and looked towards the distant direction of the Wind Kingdom.

Sure enough, under the scorching sun and in the steaming air, a group of black figures appeared.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu let out a long sigh.

"Be prepared, the next meeting will not be easy!"

————————————————————————

About five minutes later, Luo Sha, who came here with his subordinates, finally met with Minato Namikaze.

This time, he did not bring Ye Cang and Yagawa, but brought Maki and Honoka, mainly because the two of them were not interested in this meeting and their focus now was on training.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a year, Minato knew that the Kazekage would definitely surprise him when they met again, but when he actually saw him, he was still shocked.

"I can't feel anything at all!?"

Even though Rasa was right in front of him, Minato was unable to sense his chakra.

This means that while Minato is unable to estimate his opponent's strength, the opponent can approach him without anyone noticing.

This is simply fatal in a battle between ninjas.

"Is this the magical power that the Great Toad Immortal talked about?"

But this was only the first thing that surprised Minato.

The familiar red-haired girl beside Rasa made Minato realize that Konoha knew too little about the Sand Village. Of course, he knew that there was an orphan of the Uzumaki clan in the Sand Village, but through the information obtained from the Land of Grass, Minato could be sure that this was definitely not the girl named Bouquet.

Minato didn't continue looking because he already felt that his gaze made the other party a little unhappy.

Minato suppressed his surprise and greeted Rasa in front of him politely.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Master Kazekage!"

Rasa didn't care about Minato's rudeness. The Sand Village no longer needed to hide the existence of Honoka.

This time, Rasa brought her out, on the one hand because of Honoka's perception ability, and on the other hand it was also to train Honoka. After returning this time, I think Honoka will be able to prepare for the Sharingan transplant surgery.

"You're welcome, Hokage-sama. After all, we are old friends. I haven't even congratulated you on becoming Hokage yet!"

To be honest, Minato felt a little embarrassed by this old friend.

After all, the few times we had come into contact before were as enemies.

"You're kidding. Please follow me. The place for the meeting is ready!"

"Ok!"

----------------

Soon, everyone arrived at the meeting place prepared by the village.

Rasa and Namikaze Minato sat opposite each other, with their respective guards behind them.

What Minato Namikaze didn't expect was that just as he sat down and was about to speak, Rasa sitting opposite him interrupted him directly.

"Okay, Hokage, since I am willing to come to see you, I think you should understand my attitude!"

Minato was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Then I won't waste any more time. I can stop this war on behalf of our Sand Village in the name of the Kazekage and join the Five Kage Conference, but I have some requirements!"

This made Minato feel a little excited, but also a little nervous.

"Master Fengying, please feel free to speak!"

"Very good. First of all, this Five Kage Tournament must be held in our Sand Village!"

"!!!"

Minato and the people behind him were all shocked.

Seeing this, Luo Sha rolled his eyes at the people in Konoha in front of him and said.

"Are you worried that I might attack you? Even so, are you four Kages still afraid of me alone?"

Minato was stunned, then gave a bitter smile. To be honest, he was not sure about the current level of Rosa's strength, but since Rosa said so, he could only answer.

"I personally agree, but I can't answer for the other Kages. I need to communicate with them."

"Then I will wait for your result. Then the second request is, the Five Kage Conference is too stingy for me, so this time I hope that the Five Kage Conference will become a Five Nations Conference."

"The Five-Nation Conference!"

This shocked everyone in Konoha, and Minato asked in confusion.

"Fengying, what do you mean?"

"We in the Sand Village are very hospitable. So, if only the Kages of the five major ninja villages come as guests, it would seem a bit stingy. Therefore, I hope that in addition to a few Kages, the heads of the major families of the five major ninja villages, the leaders of big merchants, and anyone who wants to visit our Sand Village can be invited to this Five Nations Conference. Our Sand Village will not refuse anyone. In addition, we can send invitations to the leaders and merchants of those small countries who are willing to come. Finally, I hope that the daimyos of the five major countries can also participate."

"!!!"

This time everyone in Konoha was completely shocked.

Minato thought of the recent series of changes in the Sand Village and understood the ambition hidden in Rasa's words.

"As for the time, it will be in a month!"

"I understand. Since Lord Kazekage is so hospitable, it would be unkind of me to refuse. However, as before, I can only agree on behalf of Konoha. For the rest, I still need the opinions of the other Kages, especially the Daimyo..."

"I understand. I'll wait for good news then!"
